3x3 basketball is played on a special surface measuring 15x11 meters. There are two three-person teams on the floor, which can use an additional reserve. Unlike traditional basketball, in 3x3 basketball one or two points are scored, while in 5x5 two and three points are scored. Each action can last a maximum of 12 seconds. The game ends when one team scores 21 points or the 10-minute time limit expires.
